CyberMe – Unleashing the Cyber Potential of Young Women
Project
CyberMe aims to empower young women with essential skills and confidence to enhance their employability and career prospects in cybersecurity, contributing to a more inclusive and resilient EU cybersecurity ecosystem.
The project will deliver an upskilling program for young women focused on entry-level cybersecurity topics. The participants will apply their skills in gamified Capture-the-Flag (CTF) challenges via the Launchpad Interactive Tool, providing a fun, interactive, and competitive learning experience. To support the implementation, a Launchpad Training Toolkit will equip youth educators to create inclusive, supportive learning environments and reach a wide pool of young women. Project events, international camps, national workshops, cyber hackathons, and the website blog will showcase female cybersecurity experts and success stories, providing role models and inspiring young female talents to pursue careers in cybersecurity.
